No one should prefer electricity over natural gas before knowing how the electricity is generated. People who push electric but don’t address this are either stupid or think you are stupid.
I did some digging and found 60% of NYS electricity is generated from natural gas. 25% from nuclear.

NYS has just about the cleanest mix in the US.

- dado3212 4y agoIt’s easier to decarbonize energy generation than it is to retrofit every house in America. If you electrify everything the decarbonization will follow.
